thanks. I am surprised that you need patches to get it working with
xmonad, as that is basically the only well-tested setup, namely mine.

It does require the use of XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops, which makes it set
_NET_CLIENT_LIST and does not require special code on arbtt’s side. Is
there a reason why you cannot use that?

Thanks for the 7.6 compat patch, applied.

I don’t have that here, so no idea what is happening. Can you run it in
gdb and obtain a stacktrace, in case the crash happens in C world?

Greetings,
Joachim
